Hi Molflow team,
is there a way to export an angular distribution when using MolflowCLI on an external server, since it can´t be saved into the file.? Am I doing something wrong or is this by design?
Molflow version 2.9.28
Thanks
Philipp
I did a test, both angle maps and the profile slices are saved with the XML file, even when running a simulation with molflowCLI:
What do you mean by “it can’t be saved into the file”? What exactly are you attempting?
So I let it run on a server and download the output file as a ZIP. After opening the zip file on my PC in Molflow, there is no saved angular distribution I can copy.
I still don’t understand what you refer to as angular distribution - profile or angle map?
Can you attach the output file, as you run in the GUI, and the other output as you run in CLI?
I`m trying to get the angle map. As far as I understand, you just have to activate the recording. I´ve also added the global settings, maybe I need to change something there?
Unfortunately, I can’t upload the files, but i can describe what I`m doing to get my output file. Maybe I just doing something wrong.
I setup my simulation in molflow.exe and save it as a zip. Then I upload it to the server, which uses molflowCLI to run the simulation. After it´s finished, I download the output zip file and open it again in molflow.exe to access the data i need.
However, when I try to copy the angle map I just get zeros, even though I know it shouldn´t be zero.
Since I´m new to using molflowCLI, it´s possible that I´m just don´t use it correctly.
Hello Philippe,
My colleague @ptrifuno looked into the problem and found that there was indeed a bug.
The angle map recording, in fact, worked correctly, if you open the XML file that you’ve ran on the server, the angle map is saved correctly in the file at the facet’s node, for example something like this:
However, indeed, when loading it in the GUI, using the Copy button, only zeroes are copied.
We have fixed the bug, it will be in MolFlow 2.9.29. You can…
- Use the angle map from the XML file directly until that version is out
- Or download the unofficial “beta” which contains the fix: Pipeline · molflow_synrad / molflow · GitLab
(Choose your operating system from the build_artifact column. molflowCLI doesn’t need to be updated, only molflow)
Thank you for reporting this, Marton
